Dreams of Fleetwood Mac reunion

McIlroy and Fleetwood have been practising together this week at Bethpage

With now only two days until the action begins at Bethpage, the talking has been continuing on Wednesday as excitement builds further.

Four European players have spoken to the media this morning before heading out on their practice rounds.

Tommy Fleetwood was the first to sit behind the microphone, discussing a range of topics including the New York crowd, the importance of making a quick start and avenging the "hammering" Europe took at Whistling Straits in 2021.

When Europe did return to winning ways in Rome, the Englishman's partnership with Rory McIlroy was instrumental - the pair won together in both foursomes sessions to contribute two crucial points.

The expectation is 'Fleetwood Mac' will be reunited over the weekend, although Fleetwood remained coy about the possibility.

"Whoever gets to play with Rory this week... what a privilege," said the Englishman.

"What an amazing thing to be able to do, to stand next to him on the golf course and play alongside him. He's one of - if not the - greatest player of our generation.

"The energy that I think he has, that he brings to your team, that he brings to the Ryder Cup, I think is amazing.

"If I'm one of them that gets a chance to play with him, I would love that opportunity. And whatever energy he decides to bring, I'll be there to support him and be a good partner for him."
